Streamflow elevation profile
Each bubble is one gauge along the river, plotted by current streamflow (x-axis) vs elevation (y-axis), sized by gauge stage. Reading top-to-bottom traces the river from headwaters down to its mouth -- you can see flow accumulate as elevation drops.

Wilson River
The Wilson River is a river in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, located in the state of Oregon. The river is approximately 33 miles long and flows from the Coast Range Mountains to Tillamook Bay. The Wilson River has a long history of logging and fishing, and today it is a popular destination for recreational activities such as fishing, hiking, and camping. The river supports several reservoirs and dams, including the Wilson River Reservoir, which was constructed in 1931. The river is also used for agricultural purposes, with farms and ranches located along its banks. The hydrology of the Wilson River is heavily influenced by seasonal rainfall and snowmelt, which can cause the river to rise and fall dramatically throughout the year. Despite these fluctuations, the Wilson River remains an important natural resource for the state of Oregon.
Track the Wilson River in the Snoflo app
Set per-gauge push alerts (e.g. "alert me when flow at the Russian R Nr Healdsburg crosses 5,000 cfs"), and Snoflo's iOS app pushes the moment USGS reports the crossing.
About the Wilson River
Where does the data for the Wilson River come from?
Streamflow and gauge stage data are sourced from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Water Information System. The aggregate flow shown at the top of the page is computed by Snoflo as the sum of all monitored gauges along the river.
How is "percent of normal" calculated?
Today's aggregate streamflow is compared to the historical average aggregate streamflow on this calendar day across the river's full record. 100% means right on average; values above 100% indicate above-normal flow (wet year); values below indicate below-normal (dry year or drought).
Why are some gauges showing very different flows?
Gauges along a river measure flow at different points: headwater gauges read what's coming off the snowpack or mountain runoff; downstream gauges integrate everything upstream, including tributary inputs. Wide spreads usually mean a tributary is contributing significantly between gauges.
What's the elevation profile chart showing?
Each bubble is one gauge along the river, plotted by streamflow (x-axis) and elevation (y-axis), sized by gauge stage. Reading top-down traces the river from headwaters to mouth -- you can see flow build as elevation drops.
Can I get alerts when a specific gauge crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app on a per-gauge basis. Open any individual streamgauge from the table above and favorite it to set a discharge threshold.
